Outdoor kitchen, BBQ and patio, man I'm all for that, best meals... right there !!
Want to kill the mold, house hold bleach is your friend, will knock it down real fast. No need to soak the wood, spray/misting it on. It could take a couple of times .........Wetting it too much, bleach will attract the wood.
The growth is on top of the wood. Do not want the bleach to soak down into or onto the surface of the wood.
You will really like a new kitchen ....... a great upgrade ...

Lesson number one: Doing this in the summer makes the outdoor kitchen more practical. The BBQ and patio are earning their keep this year!
The water did get into the wood, and there's some fungus/etc in there. I'm going to give it all time to dry out then will assess the condition of it all later.
The wire to nowhere was a relief as the outlet had a line in from the top and a line out from the bottom (the mystery one). Eliminating the wire gave us room to breath, as you'll see in upcoming photos!
